The Legend of the Ghost Concubine Chapter 11 part1

    When the two entered the gambling den, that brawny man just lost another game. The gambling den's person was about to cut off the strong man's hand. Tenth prince opened his fan and swung it towards the person holding the knife. A silver needle flew out from the jade fan and was inserted straight into that his knife-wielding hand. The big knife fell to the ground with a clang. The brawny man was so scared that he crawled and rolled to behind Feng Xi Er. 

    Feng Xi er looked at the tenth prince at her side with a pleasant surprise. Didn't know that this guy knew martial arts. Just now his move was quick, accurate and vicious. A gust of wind went by her ear, and the other party was already shot down. Feng Xi Er raised her thumb to the tenth prince: "Excellent move, didn't know that your broken fan is so amazing". It unexpectedly hid needles inside. 

    The tenth prince smiled with an evil charm: “Do you think that I{ye} brought it by my side every day to fan it just for fun?” 

    Feng Xi er really thought so. 

    The head of the gambling den was alarmed by this scene, and walked to the front of the tenth prince. He said with a gloomy smile: “Tenth prince honoured us with your presence, is there anything you want to give us guidance on?” 

    The tenth prince resumed his lazy attitude, and laughed evilly while shaking his fan: “I‘m here at the gambling den, if it's not to gamble, it can't be to buy vegetables right?"

    Feng Xi er laughed, "Pu-" , this tenth prince really has a personality. 

    Tenth prince tossed a flirty look to Feng Xi Er, and said: "Xiao Xi Xi[1], gamble one round for me". 

    Xiao Xi Xi? Feng Xi Er trembled and touched her arm, her whole body had goosebumps. 

    Tenth prince laughed loudly and pushed Feng Xi Er to the gambling table. Feng Xi Er also did not drag her feet, and directly pulled out the chair. She stepped on the center of the chair with one foot, and opened her mouth with an imposing manner: "I'll {xiao ye} play with you all for two rounds"

    Tenth prince pulled on her sleeve: "Xiao Xi Xi, don't scare the bunch of them. Sit down and play slowly", and pushed another chair to her.

    Feng Xi Er slid her butt down to sit and spread her hands out, "Begin". 

    The head of the gambling den threw a look to the one shaking the dice. The dice-shaker secretly nodded his head and shook the silver container twice. He told Feng Xi Er: "Gentleman, please place your bet".

    Feng Xi er sneered, and saw through their tricks at a glance. The dice did not shake at all, and the silver container had been tampered with. So, she asked the masses: "In the previous game, was it big or small?" The crowd replied 'big'. 

    Feng Xi Er threw the silver, "Then I'll bet big".

    The facial expression of the gambling den head changed and he threw another look to the dice-shaker. Feng Xi Er took all of that in her eyes, strained her eyes and stared at the silver container. Listening carefully, there was a slight movement. The dice-shaker said, "After you've decided, move your hand away, opening immediately".

    Feng Xi er smiled and said: “Wait, I changed my mind, I'll bet small”.

    The gambling den head once again gave the dice-shaker a look, Feng Xi Er smiled and opened her mouth: "Ai, I want to bet on big again". 

    Going back and forth for a quarter of an hour, Feng Xi er had not decided to bet on big or small. That gambling den head's eyes was almost cramped, and was angered till his face was blue. If not for the presence of the tenth prince, he would have long chopped this brat down. 

    Feng Xi er whistled: “Ai, wait for me, after I come back from relieving myself, I'll definitely open the dice container, he he…"

 
    Feng Xi Er went out and pretended to go to the latrine. She slipped quietly onto the roof, and lit a torch to start a fire from the roof. When the fire was big enough, she threw a small firecracker into the house. This was a signal to the tenth Long[2].

    The fire was getting bigger, and finally someone discovered it. He shouted loudly: “There's a fire…” When disaster befell, the people didn't even want to take their money. They took to their heels and ran. Only the head of the gambling den took off his robe and put all the silver from the table onto his robe and wrapped it up. Next, he ran to the cupboard to look for the deposited silver, and hugged the money cherishingly. Only then was he willing to rush out. 

    Tenth Long hid behind the pillars at the entrance door and gently shook his fan. When the gambling den's head came out, he waved his fan and a needle flew out. The den's head fell to the floor and Feng Xi Er jumped to his body, and picked up the silvers wrapped in his robe. Tenth Long flew over and pulled her up.

Alliephant's corner:

[1]Just playing with her name and Xiao means small

[2]龙十(Long Shi): tenth long and long means dragon. It could also be long from tian long dynasty. So, I'll leave it as tenth Long. (Pls don't mistake with long and short haha, its pronounced like 'low' with 'ng'). Different from 十王(Shi wang): tenth prince.
